THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 107 



from the pen of Mr. Aug. R. Grote, viz. : ' Descriptions of new North 

 American Moths/ illustrated with a plate ; ' Catalogue of the Sphingid?e 

 of North America,' ' Catalogue of the Zygaenidse of North America/' and 

 < Conclusions drawn from a Study of the Genera Hypena and Herminia.' 

 This list of contents will, we trust, be sufficient to cause our Entomo- 

 logical friends to send for the publication, and thus aid its permanent 

 •establishment. 



Monthly Report of the Department of Agriculture (Washington, D. C, 

 April, 1873). The " Entomological Record ,; in this number contains an 

 illustrated paper by Prof. Townend Glover, on the Tobacco and Potato 

 worms (Macrosila Carolina and qainque-maculata). 



The Canadian Journal (Canadian Institute, Toronto, May, 1873) and 

 The Canadian Naturalist (Montreal : Dawson Brothers, vol. vii, No. 1) 

 maintain their respective characters as literary and scientific periodicals. 



The Canada Fanner (Toronto, vol. x, No. 9 — May 15, 1873) is now 

 issued fortnightly instead of monthly, and is much improved both in form 

 and matter. 



The Canadian Patent Office Record and Mechanics' Magazine (Montreal: 

 G. E. Desbarats) is a new and attractive candidate for public favour. The 

 first number, now before us, is profusely and handsomely illustrated ; it 

 •consists of two parts, the official portion giving a record of inventions 

 patented at Ottawa during the preceding month, with illustrations of the 

 majority — the present issue contains no less than 237 diagrams ; and the 

 unofficial or magazine paper affording elaborately illustrated articles on 

 Engineering, Mechanics, Manufactures, &c. The work is well got up and 

 •deserves to become a great success.
